Election results

The results of each race appear below with candidates listed in descending order by the number of votes received.

Winners were elected and will take office July 1, 2011 for a three-year term ending June 30, 2014. There is an expectation that you will attend all meetings of the body to which you have been elected unless prevented for good cause. There is no procedure for designating a substitute for less than one semester. There is also no procedure for voting by proxy or in absentia. If you plan to resign from the University, retire, or go on leave for one semester or longer, please inform the Office of Faculty Governance.

Alternates were not elected, but may be called upon to serve in the future should a temporary or permanent vacancy arise on the committee for which you were a candidate. In those cases, the Secretary of the Faculty fills the vacancy by appointing the first alternate in the most recent election for that position.
